Hello, One of the most frustrating problems which can happen in apache is to see the error:
server reached MaxClients setting After it, the server slowly spirals down. Sometimes it mysteriously recovers. This is difficult to diagnose after the problem appeared and went away. What have we for advice on : a) diagnosis of the cause when the problem is not live b) walling off the problem so one bad piece of code or data does not effect all sites hosted on same server Obviously a Virtual Machine could handle item b, but I am hoping for something interesting on the apache side. Obviously there is increasing the limit, but this is typically not the solution - the real problem for apache is bad code or data outside of what the code can digest in a timely manner). One tip I've seen suggested is to reduce the apache timeout from 120 seconds down to 60 seconds or so. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
